I didn't wanna ever be your goodbye, baby

I didn't wanna be someone you love to hate

I didn't wanna burn just like your pictures baby

That's how the story goes—too little too late

And I don't wanna mess around

Cause you're only gonna bring me down

Set your eyes on someone new

That's why I said

Don't look

Come back when you grow up

Cause I used to write the love song

But I had it so wrong

I'll see you in a dream—

My high school queen

I didn't want to get so far involved now, baby

I didn't want to see you crying on the floor

I didn't want to push you around but, maybe

It really wasn't me who pushed you out the door

And I don't wanna hang around

Cause I'm only gonna hit the ground

Set your eyes on someone new

So why stand so far away

I won't be back here today

And chances are I'm not here tomorrow

My mind is blown apart

I don't know where to start

I guess my comfort lies in you
